The assessment “aims to form a comprehensive and updated picture in Syria’s various regions of the most important humanitarian and development needs at the regional level during 2024-2025, according to the statement.”
The statement pointed out that 2024 program for these needs, which has been doing for 7 years, includes surveying and assessing 146 local communities in the villages of northern Syria, including 88 villages in Idleb and its countryside and 58 villages in Aleppo countryside.
